history

Sankt Johann in der Haide was first mentioned in 1147 as Rudegersdorf . The name of the community at that time reminds us that Margrave Leopold the Strong gave his ministerial Rudiger an estate in the community area around 1128/29, the land of which included the later community area. Since the land was completely forested, it first had to be cleared before the planned village was established. The forest east of the settlement was left as a "border fortification" and has been preserved to this day as Ghartwald.

It was not until the 15th century that the village took over the current name of St. John . The addition "in der Haide" does not mean heather , but forest , as it is derived from the term "Hart" - in dialect "Hoad".

Even in Roman times , today's municipal area was a border area, as the border between the provinces of Noricum and Pannonia ran here. Until 1921, today's border between Styria and Burgenland was the state border between Austria and Hungary . This meant that the village was often the victim of armed conflicts. In the High Middle Ages it was visited by the Hungarians , later by the Turks , Haidukes and Kuruzen .

War memorial

During the Second World War , fighting came to a standstill in May 1945 just before reaching the community. Due to the frequent devastation, there are hardly any historical buildings and treasures in Sankt Johann in der Haide. Only the buildings of the last two centuries have been preserved, but this was all the more elaborately cared for. Businesses have only been settling here since 1945.
